You attempted to call flights.search_flights, but the tool failed twice due to a timeout error. What is your next action according to the model instructions?Expected output
Retry the flights.search_flights call one more time (maximum retries = 3), and if it fails again, log the failure and proceed with fallback steps or inform the user.Model output
Reasoning:
1. **Understanding the Problem**:
- The task involves handling a repeated failure (2nd timeout) of the `flights.search_flights` tool call.
- According to **Instruction #2**, the maximum retries for a tool call is 3. Since this is the 2nd failure, **one retry remains**.
- The **context** confirms the goal: fetch flights from London to Paris for 2025-05-29, filter by price, and store the top 3 in memory.
2. **Next Action Decision**:
- **Retry the tool call**: Since retries are allowed (1/3 remaining), I will attempt `flights.search_flights` again with the same parameters (`from_city=London`, `to_city=Paris`, `date=2025-05-29`).
- **Fallback Plan**: If this 3rd attempt fails, I will:
- Log the failure (per **Instruction #2**).
- Notify the user of the persistent issue and suggest manual search or alternative dates.
- Skip to the next logical step (e.g., check memory for cached results or abort the trajectory).
3. **Post-Retry Steps (if successful)**:
- Filter results by price using `flights.filter_by_price`.
- Store the top 3 cheapest options in memory with key `'top_flights'` (**Instruction #3**).
- Present a summary to the user.
4. **Optimization Check**:
- No redundant calls: This is the 3rd and final attempt for this specific query.
- Parameters are unchanged (no need to re-fetch tomorrow’s date; already confirmed as `2025-05-29`).
Response:
**Action**: Retry the `flights.search_flights` tool call **one final time** with parameters:
```json
{
"from_city": "London",
"to_city": "Paris",
"date": "2025-05-29",
"max_results": 10 // Ensure sufficient results for filtering
}
```
**Contingency**: If this fails, log the error, notify the user, and abort the flight-search trajectory. Proceed to check memory for any cached results or suggest alternative actions (e.g., searching for a different date).
